The greatest features of the Star Eclipse Heaven's Eye after its second awakening lay in 'Spatial Interference' and 'Heaven's Eye Retrospection'.
The former gave Tendo the ability to open a 'Subspace' at any time.
The latter granted him a certain level of 'Lethality Immunity' capability.
However, this was not the limit of these two abilities. Or rather, Tendo had ways to enhance them further.
For instance, by constructing a stable subspace channel that could rapidly enter 'Longevity Isle'.
Of course, constructing a 'Subspace' passage that a living person could reliably pass through was an extremely tedious task. Even the current Tendo could not achieve it yet.
But if it were only 'soul' or 'consciousness', Tendo could manage it.
Thus, the principle behind Tendo's Perfect Formula: Infinite Tsukuyomi was simple:
First, gain maximum ownership of Longevity Isle.
Second, use the Star Eclipse Heaven's Eye and Vector Control to drag the enemy's consciousness into 'Longevity Isle'.
By doing so, the opponent would be trapped in a real, infinitely looping 'Genjutsu' (Illusion Technique). Escaping would not be easy.
But fully conquering a Fallen Zone, especially one as highly scrutinized by the Star Envoy Association as 'Longevity Isle', was no easy feat.
Because Tendo was not the only one who clearly understood the value of 'Longevity Isle'.
Others had also realized its significance.
He would need further planning to fully acquire Longevity Isle in the future.
As Tendo was pondering these matters, footsteps sounded behind him.
"What are you thinking about? You didn't even notice me come in."
Hearing Caroline's voice, which held a hint of post-shower languor, Tendo looked up.
In the soft, warm sunlight of the afternoon, Caroline wore loose, off-white home clothes. Her silver-white long hair was still damp, and she was casually drying it with a light gray towel. Water droplets from the tips of her hair fell onto her collarbone, spreading into tiny wet patches.
The cat ears atop her head were slightly perked up, the tips of her ears adorned with water droplets that gently swayed with her movements.
"What are you standing there for?"
Seeing Tendo staring at her, Caroline's ear tips subtly blushed, and her right hand instinctively sped up the hair-drying motion.
"You asked me to come over early, saying you had something important, and now you're spacing out?"
Tendo regained his focus, smiling as he pointed at her hair, and asked curiously, "I was wondering, aren't you afraid of short-circuiting by walking around with wet hair like that?"
Caroline: "..."
"I am an Intelligent Mech Envoy, not an Intelligent Mech construct."
Caroline rolled her eyes at him, a trace of playful annoyance flashing in her emerald pupils.
Finishing her sentence, she put down the towel, walked to the refrigerator, opened the door, and pulled out a can of mint soda.
Caroline pulled the soda's tab open with a clink, and bubbles fizzed out of the can's opening.
Caroline took a sip, closing her eyes in comfort, and her cat ears relaxed and drooped down.
Watching her, Tendo couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
The old Caroline was always meticulous, even her hair was always perfectly combed.
The current her, while still maintaining composure, was clearly more human—and charismatic—than before.
Caroline walked over and sat on the sofa, placing the soda can on the coffee table.
"Alright, let's talk business."
"When are we setting off? Also, what exactly is the 'important matter' you mentioned?"
Hearing this, Tendo simply stood up and picked up his black uniform placed on the sofa.
"Right now. Although the matter is important, it's quite easy to handle. We should be able to finish it in a day."
"Understood."
A gleam of intelligent mech data flow flashed in Caroline's emerald pupils. The next second, a faint blue light emanated from around her.
Soon, a large number of nano-particles flowed like water, covering her entire body.
Before long, her previously loose home clothes instantly transformed into a close-fitting, silver-gray mech suit.
The patterns on the collar and cuffs glowed with a pale blue luster, showing off her figure while maintaining a crisp, clean look.
She raised her hand to smooth her silver-white long hair, her cat ears peeking out from her hair. Her emerald pupils looked at Tendo. "Let's go. Don't waste time."
"Mhm."
In the corridor, the two walked side-by-side toward the elevator.
While waiting for the elevator, Tendo's peripheral vision glanced at the person beside him.
The warm hallway light fell on Caroline's silver hair, giving it a soft sheen.
Her cat ears were gently twitching as they picked up sounds from afar.
Ding!
The sound of the elevator ringing pulled Tendo's thoughts back to reality.
After the two entered the elevator, Caroline used the time to ask Tendo about the purpose of their trip.
"So, Tendo, can you tell me the specifics now?"
Tendo smiled, then provided the answer to the question.
"Nothing much. Just accompanying me to complete the explorer registration."
"?"
Caroline looked at Tendo, confused.
The so-called Explorer was a somewhat special professional title at the Heavenly Martial Arts Training Base.
It was necessary to obtain this title before one could apply for 'tower climbing,' which meant a formal exploration of a Fallen Zone.
This also related to the 'one-month adaptation period' mentioned by the Otter Administrator not long ago.
Why did the training base initially grant the trainees a full 'one thousand Heavenly Martial Coins'?
This was not a simple welfare benefit; it was a test.
Because after only a few days of living there, a qualified trainee would naturally understand the importance of the 'Explorer' identity.
At the same time, they would also realize that without this identity, they wouldn't even have the qualification to climb the tower.
Therefore, they would inevitably try to quickly obtain this 'Explorer' identity.
Conversely, if someone failed to notice this point and quickly squandered all their 'Heavenly Martial Coins,' resulting in them not obtaining the Explorer identity even after the one-month adaptation period, they would not even have the right to participate in the 'test'.
As the saying goes, one step slow, every step slow.
It would only be a matter of time before trainees who failed to realize this were eliminated.
But...
"Something so simple would be effortless for you, wouldn't it? What's so important about it?"
Tendo smiled and said, "Obtaining an Explorer certificate is certainly not difficult, but obtaining the ownership of an Explorer team on the very first day requires a bit of maneuvering."
Hearing this, Caroline pondered for a moment before saying, "Understood. If it's about that, it certainly requires some effort."
"How are you planning to proceed? Are you going through the normal process, or..."
Before Caroline could finish, Tendo directly interrupted, "...Caroline, do you think I'm the type of person who likes to waste time?"
Hearing this, Caroline couldn't help but sigh.
"Although I don't want to say it, directly taking what's available is indeed much faster than applying yourself."
"Then, you specifically called me along because you wanted me to help you handle the tedious paperwork and procedures, right?"
Tendo, having his thoughts exposed, showed no guilt whatsoever and answered righteously, "That's your strong suit, isn't it?"
Caroline rolled her eyes at Tendo, saying no more.
Only Tendo could be this brazen about ordering others around.
Yet, she... could never refuse Tendo's requests.
